Answer:

x=7

4(x-8)= -2(x-5)

4x+32= -2x+10

+2x +2x

6x-32=10

+32 +32

6x= 42

divide by 6 on both sides

x=7

kow [346]

Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount of Christmas money he had at the beginning.

He put 65% of X in the bank. This is 0.65x

He has $70 left which is equal to 0.35x

We need to write an equation to find the value of x.

70 = 0.35x

Divide by 0.35 to find the value of x.

70/0.35 = 0.35x/0.35

200 = x

He received $200 for Christmas.

Answer:

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of candles that a small candleholder holds.

y is the number of candles that a large candleholder holds.

24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles.

This means that

$24x + 3y = 87$

Simplifying by 3

$8x + y = 29$

$y = 29 - 8x$

14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles.

This means that $14x + 7y = 77$

Simplifying by 7

$2x + y = 11$

$y = 11 - 2x$

Since $y = 29 - 8x$

$11 - 2x = 29 - 8x$

$6x = 18$

$x = \frac{18}{6}$

$x = 3$

$y = 29 - 8x = 29 - 8*3 = 29 - 24 = 5$

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.
